Most of the times, when our computer's operating system gets corrupted, we have to reinstall windows. But if we don't have the installation media, then we can use the windows recovery disk to restore the windows operating system in our computer without loosing our data. So, let's see how to create recovery disk for windows 8.

3. Now, bring your mouse pointer in the right corner of the screen and click SEARCH.

4. Now type RECOVERY in the search box and click SETTINGS category. Now click CREATE A RECOVERY DRIVE from the search results.

5. When the recovery drive tool appears, click the checkbox next to "Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive" if you want the recovery tools, such as applications and drivers that came with your PC to be included in the recovery drive. If the selection is grayed out, that means your PC doesn't have a recovery partition. Keep in mind that if you do copy the recovery partition, you'll need at least a 16GB USB flash drive. Without it, you can make it with just 256 MB. Click NEXT to continue.

5. Now select your drive in which you want to make the recovery drive. My pen drive's letter is F:\, so I'm selecting F:\ drive. You must select your own pen drive according to its drive letter.

6. Now in the next window, click CREATE button.

7. Now the recovery drive creation process will start and it may take about 2 minutes. When the process finishes, click FINISH button.

8. That's it.Your Windows 8 recovery drive is ready.

If you want to create a recovery CD/DVD instead of USB drive, then follow the steps below:9. At STEP 5, remove all the pen drives connected with your pc and then uncheck the option "Copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive" and click NEXT.

10. Now click CREATE A SYSTEM REPAIR DISC WITH A CD OR DVD INSTEAD.

11. Now select your CD/DVD Writer Drive and insert a blank CD/DVD in it and then click CREATE DISC.

12. Now, disc creation will be started.

13. When finished, a dialog box will appear, click CLOSE.

14. Now click OK.

That's it. We have created our Windows 8 Recovery Disc also. The same procedure will be followed with Windows 8.1 also.

There are so many websites which offer file upload for free. You can sign up for the sites and start uploading your files free of cost. But when you share your file links with your friends, they have to wait for some time before downloading the files. It wastes the time of your friends and they feel lazy to download your files.

I have a trick to bypass the waiting time of these websites and download the files instantly. You can do it by using a chrome extension. Simply, add this chrome extension in your google chrome browser and enjoy downloading files without waiting.

Today, I went to the home of my friend and he showed me an 8 GB pen drive which was full of images, documents and movies but after plugging it in computer and opening it, there were nothing in it. Although through properties, I could see that 80% of the pen drive was full and antivirus also was showing that files were being scanned by it, but after opening the drive, it didn't show anything in it. Then I tried to view the files using DIR command in command prompt but there also, it was reported empty. My friend was so worried because it he had stored his college documents and some important photos in it. He asked me to find a solution and get the files back, so I applied a small trick and within 2 minutes, his files came back and were visible in the drive. If you are also facing such type of problem with your pen drive, then use this trick.

Follow the instructions:

1. First of all, scan your pen drive with any good antivirus, such as AVG Antivirus.2. If no any virus is detected, then open notepad, go to Save As and save the file in the root of the pen drive as autorun.inf and autorun.ini (Suppose your drive is F:, then save the file as F:\autorun.inf and F:\autorun.ini)3. Now open command prompt and type the following command and press enter key:

attrib -h -r -s /s /d F:\*.*

4. When command is successfully executed, exit from command prompt and now open the drive of your pen drive. You will see that your files are now visible.

Most of the times, when we face some problems in our computer, we have to get it fixed by any tech expert or by any of our geek friend. Usually they use TeamViewer or LogMeIn software to connect to our pc and share our screen to fix the problem. But you have not installed any of these softwares in your computer and want to share your computer screen, I'm going to tell you about a website which allows you to share your screen without any software.

Follow the instructions:

3. Now it will ask you to run java plugin, allow it to run.4. Now it will give you a code. Tell the person who wants to share your screen to go to http://www.screenleap.com/ and enter that code to connect.

5. Now after entering the code, the other person can access your desktop and troubleshoot your problem.6. You can pause or stop screen sharing anytime.

BattleField 4 is a very popular game these days and is being downloaded by lots of the people from unauthorized sources, like torrentz. Well, after downloading and installing this game, most of them find its default language either Russian or Polish. These languages are not understandable by everyone. So, if you have also got this game and have been facing problems with its language, then I have a great solution to make the game's default language English.

Follow The Instructions Below:

Download English Language Pack for battlefield 4 and extract it. (Well, its about 800 mb, but don't worry, just download it and it will surely work for you.)

You will get two dll files and one folder in the downloaded file. Copy the two dll files and paste them inside C:\Program Files\Origin Games \BATTLEFIELD 4\

If the dll files already exist there, just replace them.

Now, from downloaded file, go to Data>Win32 and copy the folder named Loc.

Now paste the copied folder into C:\Program Files\Origin Games \BATTLEFIELD 4\Data\Win32.
